How to grade Larimar
01
Colour saturation
Record the dominant hue, saturation and consistency under stated viewing conditions.
02
Pattern & contrast
Describe the visible veining, contrast and pattern without turning a house category into a value guarantee.
03
Purity
Record staining, inclusions, fractures, repairs and treatments separately from colour and pattern.
“An exceptional Larimar, beautifully crafted into a stunning teardrop. Jan is an attentive seller and I would buy from him again.”
